sssr20det510 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 You might want to search a little more, price all depends on how much you can do yourself, id say between 1000 and 3000 Top mount manifold, down pipe, fuel pump, intercooler and piping, fab or buy engine and tranny mounts, pay someone or do the wiring yourself, driveline fab, radiator and fans, water outlet mod, and if you plan on sr you better upgrade your brakes and suspension Quote Link to comment

If you need a list of things needed to do this, it sounds like if you aren't already, you will soon be in over your head and there will be another unfinished 510/SR swap project for sale. Not trying to rain on you but there's a lot of custom fabricating to do here, exhaust piping, motor mounts, radiator, fuel supply. Haven't even got to the EFI or the wiring yet. The drive shaft needs shortening, can't just weld that up. Nothing is going to 'bolt in', everything will be custom made. I'm sure someone here can tell you how much it cost to put their SR in.

ggzilla Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 MANY SR20 swaps have taken $15,000 But if you do the work yourself and scrounge up used parts, by a engine with tranny and stock engine controller with wiring harness, etc. I reckon $2,000 would do it. Quote Link to comment

sssr20det510 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 1000 was if you did all the work yourself and got used parts, you can buy all the parts and have the wiring done for 3000 if you do the work youself Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 ....and I still say it's WAY off, was my previous point. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Does the 510 require using a non-stock turbo mount? In some Datsun you can just use the stock setup. Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Not unless you go rack and pinion, otherwise top mount Quote Link to comment
ichorid Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 you can convert to RHD too dont forget about that :P Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Icehouse converted his 510 to R&P cost him like $30. It can be done on the cheap, but takes a lot of work, skill and talent! Quote Link to comment
